Kitchen Thinkin by Stuart Coleman, recorded in Stu’s and Anik’s kitchen, Vancouver, Canada. Ex-pat, surfer and wood-turner, Stu Coleman crafted this little number for the opening sequence of Winter Dreaming. Grass-roots, acoustic vibes—thanks man.

Bright Helicopters, co-responsible for the award-winning aerial footage in Winter Dreaming, has changed its name to Discovery Helicopters. Craig Campbell and his team of pilots were completely open, supportive and collaborative over three consecutive years of filming. Swift but delicate, calculated manoeuvering was required over the whitewater rivers and snowy peaks of the Australian Alps, at times only 15 metres off the deck. The end result? Outstanding. Spectacular. Award-winning. Winter Dreaming‘s (http://eucalyptproductions.com/winterdreaming) aerial sequences truly capture the wild, wintry beauty of Australia’s alpine area, appreciated and celebrated globally by audiences in Japan, Austria, Canada, Russia and even in Antarctica.
From an outdoor and naturalist’s perspective, the Southern Highlands in NSW are a magical mix of cliffs, remnant eucalypt forests, waterfalls and canyons. Outdoor Spirit offers adventure and culinary adventures to some of these sites under the friendly instruction of its owner Guy L’Estrange and his great team. Eucalypt Productions’ Stephen Curtain is proud to support Outdoor Spirit’s aim of encouraging people—no matter their age—to get ‘out bush’. If there happened to be a café latte and a home-baked muffin at the end of an outing, then even better!
The cat’s out of the bag. Our North American ski sisters and brothers will soon be exposed to the home-grown gems that Aussies happen to call our own: the Australian Alps.
